Jean Le Serpent - Cajun blues-rocker by R.Cajun & the Zydeco Bros.

Once upon a time, somewhere in Louisiana, there was a tall, skinny character known as Jean le Serpent (John the Snake) who ran a bar renowned for music, dancing and occasional drunken mayhem. No there wasn’t, it’s all made up. But - “Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn” as Mark Twain once remarked. Traditionally the first language of the Cajuns is French and many of the songs are in French. This song sprang from an ambitious attempt to write a Cajun dancehall-style blues-rocker, with a nod to Nathan Abshire, with entirely French lyrics. Somehow it worked. Once in the set it became a fixture, and the greatest compliment to me, as the songwriter, was many fans assuming it was an actual Cajun song. One of my favourite elements of this track is Dave 'Red Stick' Blant's churning, relentless bass line, driving the rhythm. Nice one, Stick! Words & music by Clive Harvey © C.
